Cosplay fans have been amazed by the before and after comparisons of Taiwanese cosplayer Rolan Ajo, who says she went on a diet and lost some 20kg so she could cosplay her favourite characters – a diet which looks to have been a resounding success, with her Lum bikini cosplay being hailed as “angelic.”

lol i cant believe some douchbags on here would bag a girl who looks so buetiful now cause she lost 20 kilos so she could do cosplaying and she looks so pretty -.- what idiots… i may like 2d but i still prefer buety in 3d better since its fucking real :/ and it wouldnt get boring fast, oh right so does drawing a 5 hour fucking artwork gets an artist bored of anime just to please a bunch of fans then a 20 minute dress up on a cos player that can look 10x sexier

Perfection is a matter of a opinion.
To go so far to become something fake, is more a question of her self loathing to begin with.
But I admire her for it, I would fuck her purely for that, fat or not.
But who am I kidding, I would fuck anything 🙂

Ha ha ha, Funny how are butthurt women and manboobs trying to hide their insecurities and failures in life when somebody acknowledges that the vast majority people prefer fit people. Like @anonymous 09:01 who uses the overused attacks and cliches as “if u dont liek hambeast u r a chauvinistic pig!” No matter how much you like to lie to yourself, fat is never sexy or healthy. Stop reflecting your weaknesses and stop imposing your faulty visions of the world

Nobody should give a shit what everyone else likes. Be whatever the hell you want to be and find someone who likes it.

There WILL be someone who likes it, no matter how disgusting people might think you are and it’s always better to be with someone who likes you the way you want to be.

Seriously, people should stop trying to appeal to the majority of the world because the majority has been spoon-fed what to find attractive. Nobody sits their ass down and thinks: “What do I actually find attractive?”
Instead, they turn to the media to tell them what to like.

2D is better anyway. 2D tits are just so much better looking than 3D ones. -_-

I’m not trying to argue with you, but my personal experience is different: generally speaking, several people would fall for someone “pretty”, that’s true, but it doesn’t mean that I’d have found my partner among “most people”. I also found that what lots of women believe to be fat isn’t in the eyes of several men. I have huge complexes about my thighs, which are my boyfriend’s favourite thing about my body.

I’d say that “pretty” is a wider spectrum than you or I may think, once you do go out there in the world, and trying to conform to that has been more of a hindrance than a successful thing in my life.

The “partner that you desire” is also a very subjective thing: sure enough, some people complain that no one likes them even though they apply the same standards when looking at other people for possible partners. On the other hand, what we’re presented with when looking for attractive people is often now what I would call attractive – heck, I’ve found people attractive in the past that I now wonder what I was thinking at the time to have such poor taste.

She didn’t have to lose the 20kg. She could still cosplay, just no one would like her. She’s an attention whore because not losing the weight would be just doing it for the fun. You should see how many Americunts cosplay that are well over 100kg, even 150kg. (inb4 don’t bash Americans… I am one)

Should make any guy, or perhaps even female think twice before they turn that one person down because you think you’re way out of their league. All it takes is one montage for them to reappear, hot as hell, making you rue the day you ever rejected them.

The next time I see a fat cosplayer cosplaying characters they are not supposed to and then fucking complain about how people discriminate them, I’ll just link them this article.

Yes, cosplaying is for fun. So if that’s it, you can just cosplay at home. Why come to conventions in costume while killing everyone’s eyes? Gamers don’t bring their games out and put it on a big screen to play, do they?

Fantastic! Now, all you fatties out there who didn’t loose any weight but cosplay anyway, follow her example. No one wants to see your jelly-rolls. If you are a size 37 but want to cosplay that petite anime character you love so much follow this cosplayers lead and develop the body for it first or GTFO.

On a related note, there is no such thing as a “BBW”. The first “B” negates the possibility of the second “B” being true. Women who call themselves “BBWs” are simply in denial.

And I know there are some guys out there who are chubby chasers. These guys only settle for Bertha because Bertha is the best they can do. You guys just have low self esteem and/or are basement dwelling, neckbeards.

ps: when are you posting about yukirin's descent into hell after going to that party with the other AKB48 member who just did the bouzu act, the AV star Kirara Asuka and the 2 male baseball players, and then staying alone with the latter in a karaoke until 8am.

i lost 25 kg last year and no i don’t have loose hanging skin. unless you’re Vit. e deficient or too old or lose fat too fast it’s not a problem. in fact old people can still lose weight and not have loose skin.

Umm YES you can lose 20kg and NOT have left over skin for two reasons weight loss over a duration of time will result in skin tightening back to the body! Which this process does take time ! What you are referring is crazy crash diets or lipo which would leave skin hanging due to rapid unnatural weight loss.

In time skin does tighten. How do you think women post pregnancy get back to their near pre-pregnancy figure? Normal weight gain for pregnancy is 40-60lbs. To assume plastic surgery every time someone loses weight(and looks good) is a tad closed minded.

Not it can not. Your comment, that just by having a healthy diet (&/or physical activities) will lead to all and any woman to be beautiful shows nothing but ignorant wishful thinking from simplistic concepts out of touch with reality typical of some naive young boy going through puberty.

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, not on a pre-defined standard. Centuries ago your pre-conceptions of beautiful would not be true, as plump and voluptuous silhouettes were much more appraised and though of as beautiful and healthy to persuit motherhood, as she was before (If this story is really true and not just made up).

As for your ultimate goal, does it apply to you? Are you beautiful? Highly doubt it, are you economicly strong? (Would you survive unemployed without aid for say a year while sustaining a family?) Highly doubt it. So then, what are the self-righteous “ultimate goals” ill-conceived and unattainable notions you set for yourself? Besides having condescending and chauvinistic attitudes.

It takes a lot more than managing a careful diet. I seen a girl go from morbidly obese to acceptable weight (as in not too skinny or too fat), yet she still looked really ugly. It took her a couple years of trying all sorts of things to figure out what would make her skin softer. Even longer to figure out what habits lead to different structures forming in her appearance and getting rid of them.

The whole time she was trying all sort of beauty products which claimed all sorts of things, but none of them actually worked. Even something as simple as acne has so many ways for it to manifest that your essentially groping at straws until you find what works.

There are plenty of women out there where losing weight is really all they need to become beautiful. But there are also plenty out there where losing weight is only a small step in the process. Sadly most of the women in both categories resort to plastic surgery which rarely looks rights and tends to be a band-aid in the long run.

I would say all you need is a diet and some skill with make-up and beauty should be achievable for most if not all. I mean there’s at least one article here on sankaku about the powers of make-up turning guys into attractive looking traps so why wouldn’t it be possible.

Indeed, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and most beholders prefer girls in acceptable weight ranges. I mean some like the cushion for the pushin’, but that’s more of a southern USA thing.
Whatever your opinion on the matter, I would say that if you want more people to think you are good looking, it wouldn’t hurt to stop being a hambeast. Sure your face might still suck, but it’s a lot better than being ugly and fat.
If you’re a guy, which I don’t know if you are, a nice body goes a long way, bot for getting girls and just liking yourself. Trust me, I used to be a very pudgy guy. Your ability to make jokes goes down, though. Thin people aren’t that funny.

But he’s right, beauty is partly in the eye of the beholder but it is also partly defined by society as you mentioned yourself. And socciety nowadays prefer slim girls over plump ones.

Any girl can at least bring her body into shape. As any guy can do as well. Just as girls need to be slim guys need some amount of muscles so be attractive to the average person of the opposite gender. There’s nothing chauvinistic about that. Men and women equally have to put work into their bodies to be and stay attractive. Some need may more, some may need less, because of their genes.

@8:23: That’s actually quite absurd. Girls get the idea of being super skin from the idiotic fashion industry, in the magazines they read. But in reality, you’d be hard pressed to find a guy who wants a girl to be super skinny with her bones poking around in various places.

Most guys like CURVES, they just don’t like ROLLS, because what’s attractive about a large flap of FAT flopping around on the side of a person? It’s almost like a deformity, it’s no longer human, it’s just fat stuck on top of the human form. (but of course some people have a fetish for that). Plus it usually is a sign a girl/guy doesn’t have their life together very well and are over eating. Being fit gives off a feeling of good self control, which is an attractive PERSONALITY TRAIT.

There’s no way for me to avoid sounding insensitive here, but…
Big bones usually make for a poor cosplay. Since most characters people want to dress up as are thin, the extra weight immediately ruins the image.
Unless the character matches their weight category; then it’s all good.

If you like something and you really like it, you will want to do it right. If you wanna do that thing right, you will need to work hard on it. I may sick you by working so hard for the pass 20 years so that I end up where I am today and science is still a very difficult road to travel for me up to date. I don’t think they are saying you need to lose weight to cosplay, but if you like it, you should do it the right way. I personally dont do cosplay but I like to watch people doing it.
